Safe Routes to School | 6 <br />Project Area <br />The project area is contained by Bendix Drive on the west, Lincolnway <br />West on the north, Birdsell Street on the east and Orange Street on the <br />south. This covers a huge area that contains many times the amount of <br />sidewalk and curb ramps can be replaced with the current project budget. <br />Based on our site visit, we would estimate that approximately 25% or more <br />of the sidewalk is in disrepair and could be replaced. Since we cannot <br />repair all of the sidewalk within the project area and stay within budget, it <br />will be important to work with the City and identify priorities to maximize <br />the impact of this project. These projects will often also require limited <br />curb replacement along with asphalt patching of the roadway to properly <br />bring the curb ramps up to ADA standards. It will also be important to <br />coordinate with other City projects such as the potential Kennedy Park <br />improvements. <br />Drainage <br />One of the important aspects of any pedestrian improvements is properly <br />addressing drainage. Not only is it a safety issue to be walking through <br />ponding water, during the winter time it will also lead to freezing and <br />further deterioration of the sidewalk. The intent would be to perpetuate <br />existing drainage patterns as much as possible and try to promote the <br />runoff from the tree lawn area to be picked up by the roadway storm inlets. <br />11 <br />22 <br />33 <br />Linc <br />o <br />l <br />n <br />w <br />a <br />y <br /> <br />W <br />e <br />s <br />t <br />Linc <br />o <br />l <br />n <br />w <br />a <br />y <br /> <br />W <br />e <br />s <br />t <br />North Bendix DriveNorth Bendix DriveN <br />Sidewalk with steeper than allowable slope <br />along N.
